So, I boot to GRUB and remove rhgb from the kernel arguments. But, rhgb is still used, and everytime it screws up. By the time the system is booted, X is respanwing like crazy and you can't log in even at non-graphical screen. I go to tty2 and type in root and it blinks and it asks me for my login again. No opportunity to enter my password.
So, from the grub screen how can I disable rhgb and boot to 3 instead of 5? I've thought about using the rescue cd to edit my grub.conf file, but I don't understand why editing the kernel args at boot doesn't work.
I would appreciate any ideas on how I can eliminate X from my boot sequence long enough to roll-back X.
BTW: does anyone have any idea why X.org 6.8.1-12 trashed my installation?
Sounds like removing 'rhgb' worked, but adding '3' didn't. I'd try 'single' instead of '3'
I might have seen '3' not working before - but not sure. Perhaps its a bugzilla item.
